9/24/2020Immunization Resources for Nursing Education Expert Meeting
APTR is pleased to announce that the Healthy People 2020 objective
sponsored by APTR has been accepted as a measurable objective of Healthy People
2020. The objective has organizational support
from: Bureau of Health Professions, HRSA; Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation;
Office of Minority Health; Office on Women's Health; Office on Disability; and National
Center for Health Statistics, CDC.
ECPB – 19: Increase the proportion of
academic institutions with health professions education programs whose
prevention curricula include interprofessional educational experiences.
Justification for New Objective
Clinical prevention and population health
are receiving increasing attention in discussions about what needs to be done
to improve health and reduce the costs of care in the U.S. Success at achieving these goals will entail
placing a greater emphasis on teaching health professions students about the
contributions they can make in preventing health problems and improving health
outcomes of populations. There is also
an increasing interest in expanding opportunities for students from different
disciplines to learn and work together while enrolled in their health
professions education programs so they will be prepared to participate as
members of interprofessional teams when they complete their professional
It is anticipated that disease prevention
and population health will benefit from an interprofessional team approach, and
this new objective encourages health professions programs to provide
interprofessional learning experiences for their students with a focus on
prevention and population health. By so
doing, students will learn about the contributions other health professionals
can make to preventive care, ultimately increasing their exposure to and
interest in prevention, enhancing the prospect of achieving the objectives contained
in HP2020 and in Healthy People publications in the coming decades.
No previous Healthy People publication has
mentioned interprofessional education in the context of clinical prevention and
population health, and this objective is designed to make this important
Proposed Baseline

For this week's HighOnAndroid ROM of the Week, check out latest LiquidSmooth ROM v3.2.
Based on latest Android 4.4.4, LiquidSmooth ROM brings much, anticipated performance of latestest and great Android 4.4.4 along with slew of customization/features.
LiquidSmooth ROM can be installed on many Android devices that have root and CWM/TWRP installed like Galaxy S5, S4, S3, Note 3, Note 2, HTC One M7/M8, Nexus 4/5/7/10, and many more.
This is probably one of the fastest Android 4.4.4 custom ROMs on the market right now, one of my all-time favorites.
Upon installing LiquidSmooth ROM, you will find a nicely-themed Liquid Launcher, which is slightly modded KitKat launcher with support for modifying your grid size. If using a phone without hardware keys, you will also find nice Android L-styled soft buttons, which also you can customize and add up to 5 different buttons.
For Galaxy phones or phones with AMOLED screens, make sure you enable "Total blackout" option in Settings as that will save you some battery. AMOLED screens use zero energy on black pixels so having this on will save you a bunch of battery life.
For customization, LiquidSmooth ROM offers one of the best customization options through its LiquidSmooth settings (in Settings). You will be able to customize everything from your lockscreen, status bar, navigation bar, CPU, and much more.
Navigation custom setttings are my favorite part of the ROM, you have many choices including App circle sidebar, Gesture anywhere (shortcuts using gestures), PIE Controls (two PIE controls on-board), and customization offered for your soft buttons plus navigation rings. By using your navigation options carefully, you will be able to maximize efficiency of your phone while on the go.
For notifications, LiquidSmooth ROM offers Active Display, Driving Mode, HALO, Heads Up notifications, lockscreen nofitications, and some more.
Many of the LiquidSmooth builds also come with an overclockable kernel, meaning you will be able to easily overclock for your high-end games/graphic-intensive apps.
Overall, LiquidSmooth ROM is a great way to get your Android device on latest Android 4.4.4 along with slew of great features so definitely give this ROM a go this week(end) and do let me know what you think!
Download Android 4.4.4 Gapps (Use stock or micro, depending on your device)
Download HighOnAndroid OnePlus One Conversion Kit No Lockscreen (optional)
Device-specific kernel recommendations:
For Galaxy S3, see Galaxy S3 kernel recommendations.
NOTE: You need to use CWM Recovery to v22.214.171.124 or higher OR also TWRP Recovery to v220.127.116.11 or higher.
To install, reboot into recovery, make backup ROM, wipe data/factory reset, install ROM, install Gapps, install HighOnAndroid Conversion Kit (If you want OnePlus One camera, theme, AudioFX/Screencast apps), and reboot. (If for some reason you end up in a bootloop or get force-closed keyboard error on boot, reboot into CWM recovery, go to Mounts & Storage->format /system. For TWRP, go to Wipe->Advanced Wipe->Wipe /system.)

Hi, will work for S4 i9500?
This app is extremely fast, but there are drawbacks. It doesn't have any of the native Samsung S-Note tools. There are Play Store tools which try to fill in these gaps, but they are not as good.
Also. Android 4.4.4 has the text reflow capability removed. This was a feature I wanted to keep so I put on the N3bula rom. It is very fast, but not near as fast as Liquid Smooth.
I meant to say this "rom" is extremely fast (not "app").
I used this for a while on my Note 2 and it's very efficient in RAM usage. It never went above 900 MB no matter what I did. That's the reason it runs so smoothly I think.
I assume wifi tether works on Sprint ?
Question would you go with pacman rom or liquid rom?
s2 t989 works for ???
Hey Max can I ask is this rom supported by Agni kernel? I'm using Note 2 N7100 running cm11 and the screen over saturates after I flashed agni kernel for cm11.
I installed this rom a month ago. But I have this problem. You know those notification badge numbers over some apps like sms, phone, Facebook, Facebook messenger, that shows you a missed call or sms? They are not working.
When you get a message on your Facebook messenger the chat head doesn't open to let you know that you have a message waiting for you. Nor the heads up gives you the information. Even the sound doesn't sound. This is a problem that is common on all the aosp roms that I have used.
Am I doing something wrong here or its a bug?
I would really appreciate an answer.
Will this work on note3 sm-n900?
Max, any reboot issues on Galaxy S5 TMO variant? I just installed last night and had a reboot after dialing crashed?

Hellenic Post – ELTA wishes to provide the designated operators of other Union member countries with an update regarding the delays in the handling of inbound postal dispatches and delivery of items following the implementation of new customs procedures.
For EMS and parcels (CP), the situation has returned to normal.
For letter post (LC/AO), there is still a backlog for inbound mail, owing to customs delays. In cooperation with the Hellenic Post, customs authorities have already taken steps to speed up the process, and the situation continues to improve. However, designated operators are asked to bear in mind that the Christmas peak period is approaching; therefore, the Hellenic Post does not expect great improvements during this period.
The Hellenic Post thanks designated operators for their understanding.

A collection of scholarly works about individual liberty and free markets. A project of Liberty Fund, Inc.
The Swiss political theorist Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) warned that there is a strong tendency for members of the government to usurp the sovereign power in order to pursue their own private interests, leading to tyranny:
First, when the prince ceases to administer the State in accordance with the laws, and usurps the Sovereign power. A remarkable change then occurs: not the government, but the State, undergoes contraction; I mean that the great State is dissolved, and another is formed within it, composed solely of the members of the government, which becomes for the rest of the people merely master and tyrant. So that the moment the government usurps the Sovereignty, the social compact is broken, and all private citizens recover by right their natural liberty, and are forced, but not bound, to obey.
About this Quotation:
In this passage from The Social Contract (1762) Rousseau uses some public choice-like insights about the self-interested behaviour of members of the government who will inevitably use the power of their position to pursue their own private interests (their "particular will") at the expense of the people (the "general will"). He calls this "the unavoidable and inherent defect" which afflicts all political organizations just like aging afflicts the human body. When this process inevitably happens he believes that "the social compact is broken" and that "all private citizens recover by right their natural liberty, and are forced, but not bound, to obey" the state. The path by which various types of government reach this end point differs: democracy degenerates into ochlocracy, aristocracy into oligarchy; and royalty degenerates into tyranny. Many of Rousseau's followers believed that they could break out of this cycle which they attempted to do when revolution broke out in France in July 1789, with results that only seemed to confirm Rousseau's original pessimism.

You want a faster system? Put faster parts in it. That's the simple answer to a question that every PC owner asks from time to time. But replacement parts aren't free, and cash-strapped computer enthusiasts know that the key is to put their money where it counts most.
That's why the PCWorld Labs sought to identify which upgrades give PCs the best performance bang for the buck. (Many PCWorld Labs testers died to bring you this information.)
First, we separated our benchmark tests into two components: general system tasks (including office applications, photo editing, and movie encoding), and gaming. Then we divided our upgrades into four categories: CPU, RAM, hard drive, and graphics board.
We selected two primary test systems to represent the kinds of desktop PCs that users are likely to want to overhaul with hardware upgrades: a three-year-old Polywell with a 3.4GHz Pentium D processor, 2GB of RAM, a 500GB hard drive, and a GeForce 8800GT graphics card; and a one-year old Dell with a 2.8GHz Core i7 CPU, 4GB of RAM, a 1TB hard drive, and an ATI HD 5670 graphics card. We then ran tests on the systems using various combinations of the above upgrades to determine which configurations yielded the best return on investment. The results for individual PCs will vary greatly, but the data supports some general conclusions about which upgrades make the most sense--and our recommendations may surprise you.
Upgrading the CPU: Bumping our Polywell's processor from a Pentium D to a Core 2-class chip yielded instant and obvious performance improvements across the board. Moving to a 2.67GHz Core 2 Quad prompted a 36.8 percent jump in performance on general apps. Using an older 3.0GHz Core 2 Duo was even more effective, with a boost of 52.6 percent--probably due to the speedier frontside bus in the Core 2 Duo over the Core 2 Quad. Graphics performance improved even more for both upgrades.
Best of all, our CPU upgrades were affordable. The Core 2 Duo upgrade rated as one of our best values in the entire study, costing a mere $2.91 for each percentage point of general performance improvement.
Upgrading RAM: Conventional wisdom has always held that upgrading your system's RAM will give it an instant boost. The upgrade is easy to perform, and it makes sense because RAM is cheap. But if your PC already has even a moderate amount of RAM, you likely won't see much of a speed increase from adding more. For example, when we bumped our 2GB system up to 4GB, we got a paltry 1.3 percent improvement on general apps and virtually no improvement on games. Similarly, our year-old Dell's performance improved by just 3 percent when we moved from 4GB of RAM to 8GB. The limited benefit that the upgrade provided in our tests made investing in more memory almost pointless--even though we were testing with a 64-bit OS that can use the full amount of memory.
Upgrading the hard drive: Solid-state-drive technology promises a dramatic decrease in hard-drive latency. And in our tests, moving from a 7200-rpm, 500GB traditional hard-disk drive to a 120GB SSD resulted in a 8.0 percent boost on general apps and an 18.4 percent speed jump on gaming.
SSDs aren't cheap, and you lose a large amount (nearly 75 percent, in our case) of your storage capacity in the bargain. Still, presented with prices of $26.58 for each percentage point of general performance improvement and $11.41 for each percentage point of graphics improvement, power users may find the outlay worth their while.
Upgrading the graphics board: No mystery here. Upgrading to newer graphics will do wonders for your gaming. When we upgraded our old Polywell to an ATI Radeon HD6870 card, gaming performance improved 14.9 percent. With our newer Dell, an ATI Radeon HD6850 gave us a 117.2 percent boost in gaming on the machine. But neither improved general application performance.
Mileage varies a bit. The Polywell's cost of $15.10 for each percentage point improvement is high, but the Dell's extremely low $1.54 for each percentage point of gain makes the graphics board upgrade on that PC the most cost-effective upgrade in our roundup.
Multiple upgrades: You're likely to fare even better if you upgrade components in combination. Performing all four of the upgrades on our list--CPU, RAM, hard drive, and graphics board--on our old Polywell desktop improved its system speed by 67.1 percent and boosted its gaming performance by 166.3 percent. We also spent more, but the overall improvement was far greater than the sum of the improvements from the individual upgrades. Ultimately we spent $10.21 for each percentage point of general performance improvement, making the four-component upgrade a surprisingly reasonable bargain.
You don't have to upgrade everything to see a boost, of course; your best bet is to focus on performance bottlenecks. To find them, visit the Windows Performance Information and Tools Control Panel. Focus on the lowest numbers listed in the panel's Windows Experience Index, and upgrade accordingly.
Forklift upgrade: Does it make sense to perform a bunch of upgrades when you could simply buy a new PC? Even under the best conditions, upgrading is a hassle, and it gets expensive: Depending on the CPU, we spent about $700 to $800 to buy the components for our Polywell upgrade--more than some new PCs cost.
Effort and risks aside, it still makes sense to upgrade in some instances. Graphics are a sore spot here, as new computers with integrated graphics fared extremely poorly in our gaming benchmarks. If you want better game performance than your current system provides, focusing on a new graphics card makes more sense than buying a new rig that uses integrated graphics.
General apps were a different story. We had to spend $850 on an overclocked 3.3GHz Core i5 PC with 4GB of DDR3 RAM and a 10,000-rpm hard drive to substantially improve on the gains we saw from our CPU upgrades alone. In that case, investing in a new PC would have made more sense, but for almost everything else, selective upgrading would have been the wisest choice.
(Many thanks to Tony Leung, PCWorld's Labs Director, for managing the testing for this story.)

National Endowment for the Arts and Knight Foundation Announce Charlotte, NC; Detroit, MI; and Philadelphia, PA as Winners of Knight/NEA Community Arts Journalism Challenge
NEA and Knight also announce ongoing funding opportunities for arts journalism projects moving forward
To keep pace with the 21st-century news cycle, traditional journalism has had to rapidly evolve in order to stay relevant. In the days of cultural blogs and Tweet seats, arts journalism is no exception. Three new models designed to strengthen local arts coverage will soon launch with funding through the Knight/NEA Community Arts Journalism Challenge, which sought innovative ideas for informing and engaging people in the arts.
The National Endowment for the Arts and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, which believe that the arts and arts journalism are essential to thriving communities, announced the challenge winners today at a virtual press conference. The winners, who emerged from 233 applications in eight communities, will each receive up to $80,000 to launch their ideas.
"To succeed, art requires informed and engaged audiences, and those audiences require news, criticism, and information on a regular basis. Both the arts and arts journalism are key to building vibrant and creative communities," said NEA Chairman Rocco Landesman. "I'm excited about these three projects because they are smart solutions that will make a difference in their communities and beyond."
"The digital age has brought great changes -- and opportunities -- to rethink models for cultural coverage that are enlightening, engaging, and sustainable. These three communities have embraced the challenge to engage communities in the arts in interesting ways," said Dennis Scholl, vice president for arts at Knight Foundation.
Art Attack Philadelphia, PA
Art Attack will increase arts coverage in the Philadelphia Daily News by publishing coverage produced by staff, students, faculty, and journalists affiliated with Drexel University. The university already publishes high-quality reports through two websites: Cultural Passport and The Smart Set. Art Attack will emphasize quality, critical writing, and "think pieces," giving readers a better understanding of the arts in the city. In addition, courses in arts journalism will be offered at Drexel University by critics-in-residence throughout the academic year.
Charlotte Arts Journalism Alliance Charlotte, NC
The Charlotte Arts Journalism Alliance (CAJA) is a collaboration with the University of North Carolina and five major media players: the daily newspaperThe Charlotte Observer; commercial station WCNC-TV; public radio station WFAE; African-American interest website QcityMetro; and online civic and cultural magazine Charlotte Viewpoint. Within its first year, CAJA will provide specialized training for aspiring citizen journalists under the guidance of the university, and develop an app that will highlight CAJA's work and solicit reader interaction. By commissioning trained arts journalists to produce compelling stories to be shared among the partners, the project will improve the quality and quantity of local arts journalism and highlight the city's cultural diversity
CriticCar Detroit
Detroit, MI
CriticCar Detroit is a mobile recording system that will criss-cross the city, offering event-goers the opportunity to record video reviews as they exit performances and exhibitions. Those interviews will later be broadcast on a variety of web channels accessible via smartphones and computers. The critiques generated through CriticCar will not only create buzz about cultural events, but will document in words and images the diversity of Detroit's cultural life and audiences, and help connect residents and visitors to local arts organizations. Jennifer Conlin, a long-time contributor to the New York Times, and Dan Shaw, former New York Times reporter and co-founder of the online cultural magazine RuralIntelligence.com, lead the project.
More information is available at artsjournalism.org.
Applications to the Knight/NEA Community Arts Journalism Challenge were accepted in August 2011 from eight communities where Knight Foundation invests: the three communities previously mentioned as well as Akron, Ohio, Macon, Georgia, Miami, Florida, San Jose/Silicon Valley, California, and St. Paul, Minnesota. Five finalists announced in October 2011 received $20,000 to create an Idea to Action plan detailing their business development strategy. The three winners' plans held the greatest promise for delivering a sustainable arts journalism model that both uses community assets and can be adapted in other cities.
Continued Support for Arts Journalism
Because of the success of the challenge, both the NEA and Knight Foundation plan to continue funding arts journalism projects, both groups announced.
The NEA will fold funding for arts journalism projects into its regular grantmaking through the Local Arts Agencies portfolio. Beginning with the next Art Works deadline of August 8, 2012, the NEA will encourage local arts agencies to submit applications to develop new ways to create and deliver arts news. The proposed projects should represent partnerships that can include the media, academia, and arts organizations. Innovation is a key component for these projects. NEA guidelines are here.
Given that local arts agencies maintain both deep connections to the people and institutions in their cities as well as with other local arts agencies across the country, they are the ideal leaders for arts journalism projects. In addition, local arts agencies played an important role in managing the first phase of the Knight/NEA Community Arts Journalism Challenge.

I have two ideas floating around. I might pick up a dual receiver
My rack sticks out quite a bit so I'm not sure if it'll interfere with pulling a trailer
In case you're wondering about the cargo strap, I hit some really rough roads with holes and washboards. The rack is very solid and doesn't move much, but I wanted it to be extra tight for reassurance that my bike won't get dropped
My other solution is to add a receiver to the back of the trailer on a swing arm so it can be moved away without removing it.

May 7, 2006 — People with lupus may be more likely to have a diminished sense of smell, a new study says.
The finding may be significant, Israeli researchers say, because a loss of smell could be a symptom that would help doctors make an earlier diagnosis of lupus and other diseases.
Olfactory dysfunction is known to exist in various central nervous system disorders, such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's, schizophrenia, and multiple sclerosis.
The study, led by Yehuda Shoenfeld, MD, of Chaim Sheba Medical Center in Tel-Hashomer, Israel, involved 100 people, half of whom had systemic lupus erythematosus, or SLE, and half that did not have the disease. Lupus, an autoimmune disease, happens when the immune system attacks healthy tissues, causing inflammation, swelling, pain, and damage.
The researchers examined olfactory function (ability to smell) with three distinct "Sniffin Sticks" tests. In one, people were asked to identify a stick with an odor from sticks that had no smell. They also were tested to see if they could tell the difference between sticks of different smells. And the participants also were asked to identify a particular smell from among four options.
People with SLE showed significant olfactory dysfunction, compared to those in the control group, the researchers say. A greater proportion of SLE participants (46%) had decreased sense of smell compared to non-SLE participants (25%). Also, complete loss of smell was only seen in some SLE participants.
The study is published in the May issue of Arthritis & Rheumatism.
The study authors say that people with more active disease and past manifestations of the condition known as neuropsychiatric SLE or NPSLE had significantly lower total scores.
In a news release, the scientists say past research in mice has demonstrated a link between neuropsychiatric SLE and sense of smell.
Sense of smell is unfamiliar territory for rheumatologists and immunologists, but results from this and other studies demonstrate that an autoimmune mechanism may play a role in loss of smell, the researchers say.
Thus, "smell decrement has been found to be an early and predictive sign in several CNS [central nervous system] diseases, and therefore might be a useful and easy tool for the physician in early diagnosis of CNS involvement in autoimmune diseases."

The tea party was in finger-pointing mode Wednesday, and the digits weren't aimed at President Barack Obama.
Tea partiers placed the blame of the "epic election failure of 2012″ squarely on Mitt Romney and the Republican establishment during a press conference at the National Press Club.
"What we got was a weak, moderate candidate hand-picked by the Beltway elites and country club establishment wing of the Republican Party," Tea Party Patriots national coordinator Jenny Beth Martin said. "The presidential loss is unequivocally on them."
Romney's flaws? The list went on and on. Martin said that if candidates don't start playing the game Constitution-style, it won't be pretty for the GOP.
Martin and representatives from the Susan B. Anthony List, Americans for Tax Reform and The Paul Revere Project, among others, warned future Republican presidential and congressional hopefuls will be doomed if they don't stick to traditional conservative values and small-government ideals.
Even if the former Massachusetts governor was conservative enough for tea partiers, his Etch-a-Sketch moves to appease both the religious right in the primary and independents in the general election ultimately cost him the presidency, speakers said.
But congressional candidates backed by the party didn't enjoy the wave of success that gave the movement momentum in 2010.
Newly elected Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, was the tea party poster child. He emerged victorious from the primary and glided to an easy win Tuesday.
Iowa Rep. Steve King also was reelected for his sixth term, but there's where the good news ended.
Failed presidential hopeful Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., barely scraped 51 percent of the vote for a victory against Democrat Jim Graves.
And several other candidates with Tea Party support were defeated..
Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock both lost Senate seats they had been favored to win before their comments on rape garnered national criticism. Reps. Joe Walsh, R-Ill.; Roscoe Bartlett, R-Md.; and Francisco "Quico" Canseco, R-Texas, all lost their House seats. So did Rep. Denny Rehberg, R-Mont., who was trying to step up to the Senate. Allen West, R-Fla., is trailing in his House district but refuses to concede and called for a recount.
"The tea party's flag drooped pretty severely in Senate contests around the country — everywhere except Texas," Rice University political scientist Paul Brace said. "The question is whether Cruz still finds it useful to carry the tea party banner as he moves forward."
Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the Susan B. Anthony List — a political action committee dedicated to electing pro-life women to Congress — vowed to spend more time coaching candidates on sensitivity and message before giving them official endorsement. They're not changing their views to appeal to minorities, but they do plan to listen more to what is important to groups like Latinos and African Americans to find common ground on social issues, Media Research Center President Brent Bozell said.
And they insist, despite the rough start, that someday the tea party will be the savior of the GOP.
"The battle to take over the Republican Party begins today," ConservativeHQ.com chairman Richard Viguerie said. "Mitt Romney's loss was the death rattle of the establishment of the Republican Party."
